Review from Rebecca W (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has attended spring since October 2024 aged 9 months and settled in brilliantly. The staff in the baby room made us feel at ease instantly and made an effort to get to know my baby's likes and dislikes, and keep us informed during her settling in sessions. They keep us updated throughout the day using the famly app on how much she's eaten, slept and her nappies, along with any medication they've given her and accident reports. The staff are lovely and my child loves them all and is genuinely excited when we pull up to the nursery. All staff make an effort to know the children's names even if they're not from their room and I love that they all go outside as much as possible and keep the activities engaging and exciting, and I love seeing the photos at the end of the day seeing what they got up to. They've made returning to work so much easier for me knowing my child is safe and happy the 3 days a week she is there!

My daughter has been at Spring Nursery for nearly a year now and absolutely loves it! The managers are incredibly helpful and no question is too silly or too much trouble to ask. Every staff member is super friendly and attentive/welcoming and my daughter can't wait to do more days this coming September. I'm so glad we chose this nursery and I highly recommend it to any one looking for a safe environment for their little one :)

Review from L W (Mother of Child) published on 26 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my children attend the setting and have since they were 1. They're aged 1 & 3. Managers and team members are very attentive. The manager is doing a great job taking the time to manage expectations from owners, parents and employees. Most importantly the kids are happy, learning and always attentive to their every need. The classes are very transparent and you can feel that everyone knows your child even if they're not in that class. This gives you added peace of mind that the overall culture is unified, diverse, and respectful. Nothing is ever too much and the team are always happy to help with any concern, needs, or requests. This is for the parents as well as the kids. I am a particularly sensitive parent and I've never worried once with Spring Carousel Nursery.

Overall Experience

I am completely beyond happy with this nursery. I think the staff all in their own ways are fantastic! The manager and staff are kind-hearted and very special. The key person who was in my child's class was perfect! She is calm, kind and loving. How my little girl is treated at nursery is how we treat her at home! The key person will hold a very special place in our hearts! My little girl's next class has been great and have given her the support that she needs. I thank you all for being so amazing! Thank you to the manager for being so welcoming and kind.

Review from Chloe S (Mother of Child) published on 10 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It was a whole new experience that got me putting my child into the nursery as she is my first and only little one. I knew I needed to put her in a nursery as we are both very codependent on each other. When viewing the nursery to start with the manager showed me around and she was fantastic and made me feel really at ease compared to another that I viewed in the area. Since joining, they have been so supportive and encouraging with my little one. She's grown close with her key worker and making friends and it's such an amazing feeling to watch and be part of as makes me feel less guilty for going to work, knowing she's in good hands and enjoying her days. Can't thank you enough.

Reply from Jade Arnold, Manager at Spring Nursery Carousel Chapel Hill

Thank you for your kind review, it was a pleasure to show you around our setting and it's lovely to see her so settled and happy.

Review from Sandra K (Mother of Child) published on 17 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We were really nervous to send our son to nursery for the first time especially as he is our first. We visited a lot of nurseries in the area but Spring Carousel just felt right. The team are lovely and always on hand for support. They also use an app to communicate with parents which really helped me in the early days when our son was settling in. Now he loves going to nursery and runs in before me! He has gained lots of confidence and skills and is just blossoming more each day. We are so glad that nursery is such a positive experience for him and therefore for us too!

Reply from Jade Arnold, Manager at Spring Nursery Carousel Chapel Hill

Thank you for your kind review. We love how confident he has become since starting his spring journey with us.

Review from Bethany J (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 11-month-old girl has been at this nursery for 2 months now, the progression I've seen in her has been outstanding - she's gained more confidence, social skills, motor skills (is not crawling and pulling herself up into a standing position) and communication skills. I have been nothing but incredibly impressed with Spring Carousel Nursery; their staff are kind, helpful and caring to both the children and the parents - my daughter loves each and every staff member she has had the pleasure of interacting with. They offer a wide range of foods; allowing children to try and get used to lots of different tastes and textures - I often find myself jealous of what my daughter has had for her lunches! Spring Carousel also have a varied selection of toys and activities to keep the children entertained- challenging their motor skills and knowledge in order to learn all day every day! I would recommend this nursery to anyone; especially new and nervous parents - they're extremely reassuring.

Reply from Jade Arnold, Manager at Spring Nursery Carousel Chapel Hill

Thank you so much for your kind review. We're so pleased you feel reassured by us as practitioners as we are always on hand to support parents through the transition to nursery. Kind regards.

Review from Ellisha U (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son currently attends this nursery and he absolutely loves it. He started in September in the explorers room and he very quickly adjusted to his daily routine and is so comfortable with the setting. The nursery manager and deputy manager are absolutely fantastic and so supportive. All of the nursery teachers at Carousel are very welcoming and friendly, They all really take the time out to get to know the children and the families. At pick up we are always told what the children have done during the day, who they played with and what they enjoyed. I love that this setting does drop-in sessions throughout the year so parents can come in and take part in activities with the children. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone who is looking. They really do know how to look after children, keep them safe, teach them valuable things and support their early learning. Thank you Carousel, so happy my son still gets another 2 years with you!

Reply from Jade Arnold, Manager at Spring Nursery Carousel Chapel Hill

Thank you so much for your kind review. Parent partnership is really important to us and we love being able to offer these stay and play sessions to our parents so they can come in and play with their child. Kind regards.

Review from Sian V (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our first baby boy started at Spring Carousel in January this year. Being first time parents and only living in the area for the last fews years, we had no family or close friends to recommend a nursery, so we used a social media page to get reviews and Spring came up a lot with raving reviews. We are so glad that our boy got into the nursery as he has flourished there so much beyond our expectations. All the staff and managers are friendly and so caring. Our boy now only 15 months goes into nursery not even looking back at me and Dad as he loves it there so much. We are forever grateful that the staff have been so fantastic with our boy helping him to develop socially, mentally and physically. He really is becoming a bright, confident little toddler. The app that we use daily to see how our boy's day is going, nappy changes, food, and sleep is amazing and gives us so much peace of mind while our boy is at nursery. Thank you again for being a home from home for our little boy!

Overall Experience

My daughter started Spring on Chapel Hill in March 2024 at only 9 months. I was really apprehensive to leave her in a nursery setting all day at such a young age but I have been over the moon with the nursery and its wonderful staff. She has settled in so quickly and has the most fun-filled days! So happy I chose this lovely nursery for her to grow and learn in. It's a happy place for her and me as I know she is safe and happy here! Can't recommend it enough even in such a short space of time!

Overall Experience
Staff at Spring Carousel are very friendly and approachable, especially management.
My son is very excited when he hears "Let's go to nursery”. He always has a bright smile on his face to and from which makes me feel relieved knowing that he likes it.
The learning technique is great and hygiene is up to standard. Food is very nutritious too.

I highly recommend this nursery as it makes every child’s dream come true.

Review from Jade B (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been at the nursery for over a year, and we haven't had any issues so far. More often than not, my child struggles with being dropped off but always settles well and gets plenty of cuddles from the wonderful staff. We love getting regular updates on the app and seeing what she’s been up to throughout the day. The staff obviously put a lot of work into the daily activities. She always comes away with a smile on her face and lots of funny, lovely stories. We would highly recommend.

Great school, they know the importance of getting the parents involved should an issue arise and do it in a very respectful, approachable manner. The teachers are truly invested in children’s education and their growth as learners. Great school! My child is very happy to be in school. Teachers are very nice and helpful.

Review from A H (Mother of Child) published on 23 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery setting and staff are wonderful. My child has settled in really well and the food provided is healthy and has opened my child up to eating much more. They also helped him with BLW as I was very nervous with this and now he mostly feeds himself. The app provides updates of everything throughout the day and an overall summary of what the children have done that day. My only comment would be that the pictures could be more inclusive. There’s been quite a few times my child has been there and there aren’t any pictures of him that day. Whilst I understand this is a wonderful perk, it’s always nice to see my child in them and what he’s been doing, but otherwise, I love the nursery, as does my child and I wouldn’t want him anywhere else.

Review from Naomi W (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This is such a lovely nursery, they went above and beyond! My daughter unfortunately broke her leg a few weeks before she was due to start at the nursery, as a mum I found it a very stressful time. I was amazed at how much support the staff gave us as I really didn’t want her to miss out on starting with other children. Talking to their deputy manager, who was my point of contact, she made it possible (with other colleagues) for my daughter to continue with her settling in session and had put a plan in place for her to still be cared for whilst she was in cast. Luckily it was all off by the time she started properly, but really appreciated what they had done for us. She has never been in any childcare before and loves it! She runs in and gives the staff a cuddle, that alone shows that she feels safe and loved!
